Cabrini Green Legal Aid is excited to host another law seminar on February 19, 2009. This seminar will focus on public housing issues in the Chicago area. Director of Housing Law Andy Dougherty will present about subsidized housing, the intricacies of evictions, and his work with clients.
Please join us to learn more about the dynamic practices of family law in Chicago. CGLA Director of Family Law, Darryl Apperton, will lead a discussion of case law and common practices in order to better illustrate the needs of our community and the work of the organization. This will be an exceptional learning opportunity for all!
Cabrini Green Legal Aid recently worked with Wanda on a housing issue. She retells her story in this video created for our 2008 Annual Benefit.
This video will help you understand the process of petitioning for executive clemency, the process one must undertake to receive a Governor’s pardon. Whenever a person has been convicted of any criminal offense, they are unable to expunge any of their criminal record. Sealing may be a possibility for minor, non-violent misdemeanor convictions and very few felony convictions. To find out if you are eligible for a sealing of your criminal conviction, please consult Illinois Legal Aid Online for information regarding the sealing process. For a person that cannot seal their criminal conviction, the only way that record can be cleared is by receiving a Governor’s pardon.
